The New England Patriots are set to begin training camp in just over two weeks, and a few players on the team have reason to show out when the time comes.

The Patriots have a deep roster at most positions, including at wide receiver, running back and defensive tackle. With that comes a healthy level of competition that is expected to brew in the lead-up to the start of next season. More so, upcoming contract years, as well as trade rumors surrounding players, make training camp a time for those on the hot seat to increase their value in the open market.
Let’s take a look at the three players for New England that need to have a great training camp this year.
WR Mack Hollins
The Patriots have many mouths to feed in their receiving corps for next season. A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs are the clear-cut first and second options at the position, pushing every other receiver down in the team’s pecking order.
Hollins was the team’s third-most targeted receiver last season with 65 targets, but if Kayshon Boutte remains in New England for next season, he is in danger of falling to fifth. A strong training camp for Hollins will remind the Patriots’ coaching staff of just how valuable he is to the team as a spark plug, as well as being their biggest wide receiver at 6-foot-4.
WR Kayshon Boutte
Boutte was primed to take the next step in 2026 before Brown and Doubs came to town. The 24-year-old wide receiver will now vie to be the Patriots’ third option in the passing attack, along with Hunter Henry and Mack Hollins.
Training camp will give Boutte an opportunity to do just that and also increase his value in the trade market, which his name has circulated in throughout much of the offseason.
EDGE Gabe Jacas
Jacas has been missing in action this offseason. He has yet to sign his rookie contract with the Patriots, and the coaching staff has yet to get a good enough glimpse at his capabilities on the field in practice.
New England has room for another quality edge rusher to contribute in their rotation behind Harold Landry and Dre’Mont Jones, with Jacas being the hopeful man for the job. Putting the pen to the paper this summer and showing out in training camp will allow him to quickly assert himself as the third man in the Patriots’ edge rusher rotation.
